Project Manager (ISOS Host)

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

Our Future Projects unit is dedicated to expanding and complementing these capabilities by conceptualizing and pre-developing new technologies, products and programs.

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced project manager to help us drive and execute multidisciplinary space demonstrations and projects end-to-end. You will be part of the Future Projects Team leading the development of a robotic orbital station aiming at supporting the In Space Operations and Services eco-system, unlocking the resupply of servicers in satellites parts and propellant, and performing complexe robotic-assisted in-orbit experiments.
